Ideas for Black Friday--GIFTS!!!!

Every year you do it.  Try to figure out what on earth to get for:
  • your kids' teachers
  • your neighbors
  • your friends
  • your coworkers
  • surprise visitors bearing gifts

We have SO many things.  Why get someone yet another trinket?  Why give yet another plate of goodies that will just go bad in a week or so?

Why not give something that they can actually use....and use up?!?!

I have a few good ideas for gifts that you can give.  Our pantry can sizes are the PERFECT size for gift giving.  And when you order these items by the case, you'll save even more money during the Black Friday sale!  The sale goes live for the public on Wednesday November 23, but you can preorder through me on Tuesday (contact me at gimmethrive (at) gmail (dot) com).


My family LOVES to make all sorts of cookies out of our Classic Cookie Dough Mix.  Just add butter and water and whatever else you want:  chocolate chips, toffee bits, nuts, etc.  And I love making quick sugar cookies out of our Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix!  (I also like to frost them with homemade buttercream that I've flavored with powdered Thrive strawberries...so good!).  The brownies and the macaroons are JUST ADD WATER MIXES!!!  And the macaroons are gluten free!!!  

The point is, these are great to give because then people can decide when THEY want to have them!


Our bread dough mixes come out perfect EVERY time!  I love them.  I can make them into rolls, loaf bread, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls!  They're very versatile.  They are just add water and yeast mixes.  Our cornbread mix is a tasty way to add cornbread slices or muffins to a hearty meal.  And it's a JUST ADD WATER mix!!!


If there's any beverage synonymous with the holiday season, it's cocoa!!!  
So many people absolutely LOVE these yogurt bites--they are addictive!!!  We have so many flavors to choose from but my personal favorites are Pomegranate and Vanilla....and they are AMAZING sprinkled in our cocoa!!!


Now if you're a parent of adult kids and grandkids, maybe you're looking to give the gift of preparation!  I know of several parents and grandparents who have given long-term food storage to their families for a Christmas gift.  It can often be hard for young families to budget for long term food storage so this is a FANTASTIC idea for a meaningful gift!

And, BONUS, order some of these big packages and you could earn some serious FREE and HALF OFF food when we order it as a "party" with YOU as the host!

Follow the link to my Black Friday shopping page to get more details about exactly what is in each package.  And there are more packages than what are pictured below, so browse around and see what you like best!
